How can I filter which files are included in a workspace using MSBuild?

Question

It seems that MsBuild creates a folder called, "BuildType" on the build server and this folder is where the .proj file is copied. In source control I have several files that are in the same folder as the build project file. I have a workspace mapped to this location.

I would like to be able to specify explicitly which files from this workspace location should be copied to the build machine. Is this possible?

Thanks!

You cannot do this on file level but if you organize your build type folder with subfolders you can cloak the folders that you want to exclude.
